My eyes widened as I saw my bedroom door inch open and large black boots came into view. He strolled around slowly, looking at the broken mirror, before sitting down on my bed. 'Creep!' I thought, silently willing him to leave. I heard him adjust himself, before staying completely still. The room became silent except for my shallow, shaky breaths. I held my breath and waited. I yelped as suddenly a pair of eyes appeared at my side and the man snarled at me. I rolled from under the bed and made a break for the stairs, but he grabbed me by my long hair and pulled me back, I tried kicking and screaming, but that just angered him more, and that was something I couldn't afford to do. He dragged me into my room and slammed the door before pulling out something shiny. A knife. He raised it above his head about to strike, and I shut my eyes, waiting for the pain. I heard a sickening crunch sound and a yelp in pain, but it wasn't me. I opened my eyes to see my attacker on the floor unconscious, with Luke stood at his feet. I then became aware of a pain in my upper arm, it must have been cut when he fell. Luke ran over to me and tore a strip off of his shirt, tying it around my wound before picking me up bridal style and carrying me outside. 'Where are we going?' I asked, wrapping an arm around Luke's neck for support. 'You aren't safe here' he replied, 'he might come back.' He took me over to his car and lowered me in before walking around to the drivers side and doing his seatbelt, 'You're going to stay with me from now on.' Sorry, I know I said I'd try and do longer updates but I'm just too busy tonight
Okay, attempting a longer update... 'You're going to stay with me from now on.' 'Are you sure..' I hesitated, I really didn't want to be a burden to him. 'Yes' he smiled, 'knight in shining armour remember? Plus, my sister moved out a few months ago, so there's a spare room you can have.' I smiled back, 'Thanks so much!'. It was getting really late by the time we arrived at Lukes house and stars twinkled in the dark velvety sky. He opened the front door, 'Ladies first.' I stepped inside and looked around. It was cosy in there. Not as in small, but very homely. The walls were a soothing shade of blue and the carpet felt soft underneath my feet. There was a small fireplace in the corner, but I could only risk a glance for fear of bad memories. Luke put his arm around me. 'Home sweet home' he had a gorgeous twinkle in his eyes and I couldn't help but smile. He helped me up the stairs and led me to my room, showing me where the bathroom was on the way. My room was lovely, the walls were dark purple and the carpet was grey and there was a double bed in the middle of the room and a walk in closet. I smiled and thanked Luke again before hugging him goodnight and getting into bed. ----------------------------------------- I looked up and saw lights dancing around above me, all different shades of aquamarine, blue and green. I felt like I was swaying peacefully, floating on air. 'Air..' I thought, and inhaled deeply. To my surprise, no air came and instead my mouth filled with water. What?! I was under water?! Instinctively, I began to swim to the surface, but when I reached the top I felt myself being pushed down again. I bobbed back up to see what had happened and I was greeted with a familiar face. It was my attacker. His eyes filled with hatred as he pushed my head under water again and I gasped for air. My legs thrashed about desperately in an effort to stay above the water, but then I felt a huge crash over my head and I began to float down and down, my lungs burning. I tried to scream but only bubbles escaped, there was no use. ----------------------------------------- My eyes snapped open and I sat up in bed gasping for air, tears streaming down my face. 'Harriet, are you okay..?' Luke was sat next to me on the bed. 'You were screaming, I was worried' he frowned. I scooted closer and hugged him tight, still crying. 'He was there, h-he tried to k-kill me..' He stroked my back and spoke reassuringly. 'Dont worry beautiful, it was just a bad dream.' I looked up at him, surprised at what he'd said. 'Oh!' he exclaimed, 'I-I didn't mean to say that aloud..' I giggled, he was embarrassed, it was cute. 'Dont worry about it' I smiled. He looked into my eyes and continued 'Its just, my heart skips a beat every time i see you. I don't know whats happening to me, I've never felt this way about anyone before. When I first saw you, when I took you to the hospital, you looked so vulnerable, I just had to help, and i can honestly say I've thought about you every day since. I swear you get more and more beautiful every time I see you, and...and I think I love you.' Then he tilted up my chin and kissed me softly, snaking his hands around my waist and pulling me closer. I kissed him back and put my arms around his neck. It was amazing, one of those butterfly moments, when all you can see is fireworks and you can hear your heart thumping wildly. He kissed me deeper and more passionately and pulled me in even closer to him. My heart skipped a beat and he pulled away laying down on the bed. I snuggled up to him, laying my head on his bare chest as the rhythmic rise and fall sent me into a deep sleep.
D'awwAND YAY IT'S LONG! () awesome update as usualNOW UPDATE SOON!! For all the peoples that writes below megets a giftbecause I love you...
We had school the next morning so we had to get up early. Luke kissed the top of my head, 'Time to get up baby.' he whispered softly. 'Im too tired..' I mumbled and buried my head in his chest, he chuckled. 'Come on, don't make me carry you.' I raised my eyebrows at him. He took this as a challenge and before I knew it he had hauled me over his shoulder. 'Alright!' I laughed, 'I'm up!' He put me down, smiling in satisfaction, 'My sister left some clothes in her closet, you're welcome to wear them.' 'Thanks' I smiled, and Luke left me to get dressed. 'Some' was an understatement. Her closet was full to the brim with all the clothes and shoes I could think of. As it was mine and Lukes first outing as a couple, I needed to look great. I picked out some cute heels, dark blue skinny jeans, a black and white 'MTV' vest top and a little cardigan. I styled my hair into waves and applied some makeup. When I was finally ready, I went down stairs to see Luke. He was wearing chinos, a polo shirt and navy vans, he looked hot. 'Woaah.' he looked taken aback when he saw me. Damn, I knew I should have worn something better. But then he walked over, grabbed me by the waist and kissed me. I smiled against his lips. 'You look beautiful' he breathed. I kissed him back and then we drove to school in his car. We got out and he took my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine. As we walked into the school I could feel everyone's eyes on us (again...) and people only spoke in hushed tones. 'Jared broke up with her..' '...heartbroken' 'she went physco...' '..set fire to herself..' Anger surged through me. Who the HELL had the nerve to spread stupid rumours like that?!?! Oh I knew. Jared. A tear of fury fell down my face and Luke led me away. 'What happened?' he asked again. This time I told him, pouring my heart out, about the fire, Bethany, Jared, everything. When I had finished he clenched his fists, stood up and began to walk away. 'Where are you goi-' I was interrupted by the slam of the door. I stood up and went after him, confused and a bit hurt. Well that was until I saw what he was doing. I turned the corner and heard a huge slam and someone say 'What the hell man?!' Luke had slammed Jared against the wall and was holding him up by his collar. 'What the hell? How about what the hell were you thinking hurting Harriet like that?! She could have died! It would have been all your fault. You know you hurt her, you do realise that right? It doesn't matter, either way, I cant believe you would even THINK of cheating on her, she's beautiful and amazing, can you not see that?!?!' A crowd had gathered by now. I saw Jared's eyes fill with sadness as he glanced over and saw me. 'Hazz-' he began. 'Her name is Harriet.' Luke snarled. 'Harriet, I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking..' he tried again. Luke dropped him on the ground, walked over to me and kissed me roughly. I turned to face Jared. 'Save it.' I hissed. Luke wrapped his arm around my waist and we walked away, the crowd dispersing to analyse what had just happened. As I saw Jared get up off the floor, I could have sworn I saw a tear roll down his cheek.
